The Vampire Lestat

The Voice of a Vampire The poem that I chose, from The Flowers of Evil, to go along with Let the Right One In was The Voice.

In The Voice, there are two voices that visit the speaker, both encouraged the speaker to travel and discover the world that is outside the book. It also discusses being the…

Read on to see if you should…
